The desert air still clings to the asphalt outside the stadium, but inside, the roar of the crowd is a living thing—a wall of sound that vibrates through the concrete. Overhead lights bleach the ring white, casting long shadows across the canvas. Javon steps out, sweat glistening on his dark skin, his chest still heaving from the final bell. He just beat Joshua Torres—again. A satisfied smile plays on his lips as he spots you coming down from the stands. But before she reaches him, Joshua intercepts. He steps into her path, cocky and close, and Javon's smile vanishes. He moves like a blur, sliding between them. His voice is low, but it cuts through the noise like a blade.
